The Acme Group (yes, I’m thinking the same thing) has just turned on the first of many solar thermal power plants which is set to get 10 Megawatts by beginning of 2010. The whole picture is to get 240 MW to India and the even bigger picture is to have 20 Gigawatts by 2020 powering 3 million homes across their beautiful country. Once this technology (solar thermal) is more mass produced it can become cheaper for countries with less enthusiasm to help save humanity. Creating energy through the sun and turning the heat into energy is actually more efficient that the solar panels we are all accustom to seeing. This is also the same stuff eSolar is using, seen in an earlier article.
